Radio Clatterbridge celebrates 70 years on air
One of the country’s oldest hospital radio stations will mark its 70th birthday with a special day of programmes on Friday 9 April.
Radio Clatterbridge began broadcasting in 1951 when members of Port Sunlight Boys Club hit upon the idea of taking a record player onto the wards to play music to entertain patients.
Initially it had a mixed reception: those closest to the speaker complained it was too loud, while those at the far end of the ward couldn’t hear the music.
But the hospital authorities were convinced the idea had merit and agreed to fund a studio and a transmission system connected to each bed.
